It is important that Disabled people take part in the London elections and use their votes. There are 1.2 million Disabled people in London, making up over 14% of the population1, yet we remain one of the most marginalised and excluded groups in society. Too often politicians and policy-makers overlook our needs and the issues that matter most to us. In the current climate when, for the first time in the history of social policy, things are getting worse for Disabled people2, it is more important than ever that our voices are heard. The incomes of Disabled Londoners fell by 29% over the five years from 2007/8 to 2012/13 – double the equivalent figure for non-Disabled Londoners. Meanwhile Disabled Londoners experience inequality in every area of our lives such as housing, education and transport. The Mayor of London and Greater London Assembly have significant powers that can address disadvantage and enable Disabled Londoners to participate as active citizens in the life of the capital city. The London elections are a good opportunity to get our issues on the agenda and over the past few months Inclusion London has been busy doing just that. 1 Family Resources survey United Kingdom 2012/13: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data /file/325491/family-resources-survey-statistics-2012-2013.pdf 2 http://jennymorrisnet.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/there-was-lot-of-political- consensus-on.html Inclusion London 2016 London Election Toolkit for DDPOs 3 In partnership with Transport for All and the Alliance for Inclusive Education we launched our ‘Disabled People’s Challenge to the next Mayor of London’, setting out our combined asks for the next Mayor and Assembly. We met with the four main mayoral candidates to go through the key issues most important to Disabled Londoners: Caroline Pidgeon (Lib Dem), Sadiq Khan (Labour), Sian Berry (Green Party), Zac Goldsmith (Conservative). Their answers to six written questions we sent them are included in Section 2 to enable comparison. We also ran election workshops for London DDPOs and worked in partnership with London election initiatives run by Bite the Ballot and Good London to build a shared vision for London across different communities. This toolkit has been developed to provide key information about the London elections for Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisations (DDPOs). Please share the information with your members and encourage them to use their votes on 5 May. Inclusion London 2016 London Election Toolkit for DDPOs 4 SECTION 1 Powers and responsibilities of the Mayor Overview The Mayor has a range of direct powers and responsibilities which impact on Deaf and Disabled people in London. The Mayor has specific powers and duties and a general responsibility to promote economic, social and environmental improvement in London. The Mayor must consult with Londoners, and in all cases the Mayor must promote equality of opportunity. The Mayor has a duty to set out plans and policies for London covering transport, planning and development, housing, economic development and regeneration, culture, health inequalities, and a range of environmental issues. The Mayor sets the annual budget for the Greater London Authority and the wider GLA group, which includes the Metropolitan Police Service, Transport for London, London Development Agency and London Fire Brigade. Transport The Mayor is Chair of Transport for London, appoints the Transport for London Board and sets the Mayor’s Transport Strategy. The Mayor has ultimate responsibility for London’s buses, Dial-A-Ride, Tube and Transport for London rail, and some of London’s streets. Rail, the Freedom Pass, Taxicard and most streets fall outside the Mayor’s direct control. Inclusion London 2016 London Election Toolkit for DDPOs 5 Health The Mayor has a statutory duty to reduce health inequalities. The Mayor is Chair of the London Health Improvement Board and sets the London Health Inequalities Strategy. Development – housing and economy The Mayor provides an overall framework for the development of London, through the London Plan. The plan contains targets for housing, transport, community facilities and the environment. The Mayor also has a leadership role through his/her powers over planning decisions. The Mayor sets the London Housing Strategy and a range of related sub strategies under it. The Mayor sets the London Development Strategy and related work such as the London Debt Strategy group. Education The Mayor of London has no statutory powers over education. BUT An enterprising mayor can use his / her powers for economic generation to develop an education and apprenticeships strategy – making the direct link between learning and business and paid work. Policing and Crime The Metropolitan Police Authority has been replaced with the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). The Metropolitan Police Service is directly accountable to the Mayor. The Mayor produces a Police and Crime Plan setting out MOPAC’s Police and Crime objectives. Inclusion London 2016 London Election Toolkit for DDPOs 6 Equalities The Mayor has a duty to promote equality. The Mayor sets out the Equal Life Chances for All equality framework and produces an annual Equality Report. Sport The Mayor continues to promote inclusive physical activity and sport through the five year strategy 'Inclusive and Active 2', which has been adopted by over 115 organisations across London and beyond. Adoption of the strategy remains a pre-requisite for any organisation funded through the Mayor's Sports Participation Fund. Any project funded through the Mayor's Sports Legacy Programme is required to engage at least 10% disabled participants. Outside the London mayoral remit The Mayor and the Greater London Assembly do not have responsibility for: council housing, schools, social services, hospitals, street cleaning, parking permits, social security/welfare benefits. These services are all provided by London councils, government, or other organisations. Inclusion London 2016 London Election Toolkit for DDPOs 7 SECTION 2 Questions and answers from the main mayoral candidates Inclusion London, Transport for All and the Alliance for Inclusive Education met with the four main mayoral candidates. We had positive discussions with all candidates about our manifesto asks and there were no major areas of disagreement from any of them. They have all agreed to meet with us and our members within the first 100 days if they get elected. We also posed them six key questions related to the asks in our ‘Disabled People’s Challenge to the next Mayor of London’. Their answers are set out below. To see their full manifestos go to: Caroline Pidgeon (Lib Dem) http://www.carolinepidgeon.org/files/docs/mayoralmanifesto2015.pdf Sadiq Khan (Labour) http://www.sadiq.london/a_manifesto_for_all_londoners Sian Berry (Green Party) http://www.sianberry.london/the-power-of-good-ideas/manifesto-for- london/ (includes easy read version) Zac Goldsmith (Conservative) https://backzac2016.com/manifesto Inclusion London 2016 London Election Toolkit for DDPOs 8 1. What will you do to ensure that Disabled Londoners and our user-led organisations are fully involved in City Hall work that affects us? Caroline Pidgeon (Lib Dem) I would like to see a return to far more consultation groups led by user-led organisations for a range of London services. In relation to transport in particular I sometimes think the London Assembly Transport Committee has been better in consulting with disabled people than Transport for London. That simply needs to change. Other changes also need to take place. For example, I think the Mayor of London should directly meet regularly with user-led organisations of disabled people. Sadly that has not been the priority of the current Mayor, as can be seen by his published diary. Sadiq Khan (Labour) I’m determined to be a Mayor for all Londoners, and that includes the 1.2 million Londoners with disabilities. Nobody in London should be denied the opportunity to make the most of what the city has to offer – in work, travel and leisure. If I become Mayor, and in order to deliver on this, I’ll make sure that there is genuine engagement between the Mayor and people with disabilities on all matters that affect disabled Londoners. This won’t be tokenistic, but meaningful discussion on the issues

    Decision of the Election Committee on a due impartiality complaint brought by the Respect Party in relation to The London Debate ITV London, 5 April 2016 LBC 97.3 , 5 April 2016 1. On Friday 29 April 2016, Ofcom’s Election Committee (“the Committee”)1 met to consider and adjudicate on a complaint made by the Respect Party in relation to its candidate for the London Mayoral election, George Galloway (“the Complaint”). The Complaint was about the programme The London Debate, broadcast in ITV’s London region on ITV, and on ITV HD and ITV+1 at 18:00 on Tuesday 5 April 2016 (“the Programme”). The Programme was broadcast simultaneously by LBC on the local analogue radio station LBC 97.3, as well as nationally on DAB radio and on digital television (as a radio channel). 2. The Committee consisted of the following members: Nick Pollard (Chair, Member of the Ofcom Content Board); Dame Lynne Brindley DBE (Member of the Ofcom Board and Content Board); Janey Walker (Member of the Ofcom Content Board); and Tony Close (Ofcom Director with responsibility for Content Standards, Licensing and Enforcement and Member of the Ofcom Content Board). 3. For the reasons set out in this decision, having considered all of the submissions and evidence before it under the relevant provisions of the Broadcasting Code (“the Code”), the Committee decided not to uphold the Respect Party’s complaint. The Committee found that in respect of ITV the broadcast of the Programme complied with the requirements of the Code. In the case of LBC, the Programme did not a contain list of candidates in the 2016 London Mayoral election (in audio form) and LBC therefore breached Rule 6.11.

Tips for using Twitter and Facebook at the Clean Air for Children London Question Time event ● Use our ‘How to find your elected representatives in England’ guide to identify your local representatives. Make a list of who you want to tweet at and share Facebook posts or messages with and search for them a few days before the event, these might include: ✓ Your MP ✓ Mayor of London - @MayorofLondon ✓ Your ward councillors ✓ Your Council Leader ✓ Your London Assembly Member ✓ Chairs/Deputy Chairs of the London Assembly’s Transport and Environment Committees ▪ Environment ▪ Chair: Caroline Russell - @CarolineRussell ▪ Deputy Chair: Leonie Cooper - @LeonieC ▪ Transport ▪ Chair: Caroline Pidgeon - @CarolinePidgeon ▪ Deputy Chair: Florence Eshalomi - @FloEshalomi ✓ Your borough council (search under the name of your borough and twitter, e.g., LB Camden Twitter, LB Hounslow Twitter) ● Keep your tone positive and respectful even if you are being challenging or critical. ● Use the hashtags #cleanairforchildren and #Llondon ● If you have enough characters remaining in your tweets, it might be good to add in #cleanair or #airpollution into your tweets so they are picked up and retweeted by a larger audience. ● Tag or retweet to the @ClientEarth and @lunguk Twitter accounts. ● If you are directing your tweet at somebody in particular, make sure that others can also see it by putting a full-stop before their Twitter account name to start the message, e.g.: “.@[yourMP] will you... “. ● If posting on Facebook, focusing on your ‘personal pollution story’ could win more likes and shares – write about how dirty air in your area affects you, your children and your community and why this has led you to call for action.
